Modern Narrative Techniques

Modern narrative techniques refer to contemporary ways writers tell stories that go beyond traditional linear storytelling. These include non-linear timelines, where events are presented out of order; multiple perspectives, showing different characters’ viewpoints; stream of consciousness, capturing characters' inner thoughts; and unreliable narrators, where the storyteller's perspective may be biased or unclear. These methods create more immersive, complex, and layered stories, encouraging readers to actively interpret and piece together the narrative. They reflect modern expectations for innovation and diversity in storytelling, making narratives more dynamic and engaging.
